  8. Key teachings At the end of the world God will judge people on their behaviour & the choices they have made. God will separate the good from the bad like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. On his right will be the GOOD (sheep). They will be with him in heaven. On his left will be the bad (goats). They will be sent away from him to hell. God judges us on how we treat our fellow humans. As we are all created in His image.

  9. Another Christian response to the problems of evil & suffering God created us free to make our own choices & behave however we choose. However, at the end of the world we will be held accountable by God. Those who do good will be rewarded. Those who do bad will be punished. Therefore, God does care, does have power and does take responsibility.
